Único 2015 — A warm cycle with a dry summer and an early harvest. A ripe-style Único, with black fruit, intense spice and dense, well-integrated tannins.
The great recent vintage, and still a child. Dense, youthful colour with a purple rim. The nose, primary and promising, offers cassis, blackberry, violet, pencil lead and noble spices over oak that is still prominent and needs time to melt in. On the palate it is structured and vibrant, with a firm yet silky tannic backbone, great concentration and a freshness that projects it for decades. Impressive today; in 2030 it will be moving. Decant it for a long time or, better, wait for it.
More than ten years from harvest to release: six in oak barrels (new and used) and three to four in bottle.
Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) around 95% and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Noble red meats (aged beef, oxtail, big game), black truffle, squab and great aged cheeses.
16–18 °C. Long decanting —at least two hours— for wines with medium ageing; double decanting recommended for older vintages.
